Ok now to start , you MUST use a Stainless Steel Pot or Tank to parkerize parts it because the acid will not react with stainless! Then a type of burner yes the stove will work to, I prefer a turkey fryer and outdoors is best when acid vapors are present!

Now to start this recipe is for about a gallon and a half give or take!

Add the water to the pot when not turned on. Then Always Add Acid to water! Add 3 ounces or so of Jasco Prep/Primer. Then 2 ounces of Maganese Dioxide. Now fire it up and let the temperature get up to around 175-185 for best reaction for the parts. Now add a degreased biscuit of steel wool ( can be degreased by CarbCleaner). Now you should start to see it reacting to the solution alot of bubbles and such like this!

Wait till it is about halfway dissolved and then start to immerse the parts slowly in the solution! For this I used a SS Strainer picked up at Wal-mart for $8.00

You should start to see the parts fizzing and i do a spot check everyonce and a while like every 2 minutes to see the color if I like it or not . My parts were done in about under 10 mins each and I used tap water so I dont know why they were done so quickly but they came out awesome as shown here in this picture!

Also keep a container or warm or cold water near by if you want to wait for all the parts to be done before oiling but I didnt. I dunked them used a paper towel and let air dry then sprayed with Rem-Oil. If you do not oil right after they can flash rust and cause nastiness!

BEFORE PARKERIZING THE PARTS YOU MUST TAKE ANY RUST OR OLD FINISH OFF BY MEANS OF SANDBLASTING. I BLASTED ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO AND HAD THE PARTS SPRAYED IN OIL SITTING IN A TUPERWARE CONTAINER IN THE SAFE! I JUST PARKERIZED THEM SUNDAY TOO!

I know im forgetting somethings but cant think of them i will add and re-edit as much as necessary! But please have fun as this is a cheap way to do parkerizing!
